The National Sustainable Design Expo featuring EPA's P3 (People, Prosperity and the Planet) competition and awards support teams of college and university students who compete to design and build sustainable technologies. In addition to the P3 team projects, government, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations exhibit their sustainable technologies, designs, and ideas. The National Sustainable Design Expo and P3 event on the National Mall are OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

All P3 Team projects are judged at the Expo by a panel of judges selected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The EPA then chooses the P3 teams to receive the P3 Award and Honorable Mention and announces the winners at the P3 Awards Ceremony on the evening of the last day of the Expo. P3 Teams that receive the P3 Award also receive additional funding to continue development so they can take their idea to market or implement it in the field. The awards ceremony is also open to media.

The P3 competition and awards are sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Other additional awards may be added prior to the Expo. Additional awards from previous years award are available in the Media Information Archive.

Prior additional award presentors are available in the Media Information Archive.

2008 P3 Award winners photos and video are available on the P3 Multimedia page.
